February Horoscopes

Harley Tummond, Diversity Editor

Hello everybody, I hope you had a fantastic December and January and I’m happy to be back to deliver some more horoscopes to guide you through the month to follow:

Aquarius: January 20-February 18

On January 27th, there was a new moon that fell under the sign of Aquarius and will carry you powerfully through the month. If you feel that the past few months have been stale for any particular reason, that will all turn around this month, Aquarius. February will be a huge month for your sign when it comes to finances, as well as new movements in your personal life, whether romantic or purely friendly. Altogether, the eclipses coming your way in 2018 (the first in nearly a decade) as well as your new moon harnessed power will bring you great fortune in the month to come.

Pisces: February 19-March 20

Your ruling planet- Neptune, is getting a little extra attention from the sun’s rays this month, and you will feel the positive energy that is radiating from your ruler. This increased morale may give you the energy to power through the dark months to come, or overwhelm you with invasively optimistic thoughts. Nevertheless, as your sign makes its way into prominence toward the end of the month, you will feel a positive tide shift in your mood, and a new fervor to interact with and be a part of social events that surround you.

Aries: March 21-April 19

The first house of the Zodiac, Aries ruled by Mars, is often associated with being the most prominent personality signal in someone’s birth chart. This is true due to the strength and determination that underlies the Aries sign. As Mars mingles with Scorpio this February, those born under your sign will feel an overwhelming pull toward the Uranian traits of chaos and change. Although terms like “chaos” may be frightening, don’t fear, because this month will bring positive change into your life- however even change that may appear negative will be positive in the long run.

Taurus: April 20-May 20

Taurus, with currently no planets residing in your astrological zone, you may experience some confusion with where you belong this month. Without a prominent ruling planet during a specific time, of course other than your house ruler Venus, you may find yourself falling into a state of being “ruled by material.” Essentially, your sign has a tendency to surround yourself with items of monetary value. Although this brings Taureans great happiness momentarily, they can contribute to a depleted sense of self.

Gemini: May 21-June 20

Gemini usually lands with a bad reputation due to the common belief that the twins represent being two-faced and untrustworthy. The level of difficulty associated with your sign, however, is dependent solely on the proximity of ruling planets to your zodiac. Throughout February, due to the distance between you and your house ruler (Mercury, currently 0 degrees Capricorn), you may feel the dual parts of your sign allow you clarity. This month “the twins” will allow you to approach problems and conflicts from multiple angles and gain more multidimensional views on the things that you face.

Cancer: June 21-July 22

Saturn and Pluto will be falling into your seventh house, Cancer, so you may feel an inflamed desire to prioritize organization and solitude throughout the month. That is okay because your sign has a deeply interwoven tendency to be emotionally overwhelmed by stress and socialization. This is a tendency of the Cancer sign due to your sentimental nature. Remember to take time away from your desire to be alone this month to practice socialization and interact with trusted and loved confidants.

Leo: July 23-August 22

Pride is a tendency of sun ruled Leo- what is more prideful than a lion and the sun? This sun dependent quality may dwindle during the long and harsh winter months, and Leos may find themselves struggling with an idea of self and identity. This shouldn’t be too much of an issue, because those born under the lion sign have a endless ability to “fake-it-till-you-make it.” Be careful not to get discouraged, because good luck will come as a result of your lack of polarity.

Virgo: August 23-September 22

Your practicality will shine through this month, Virgo, with your analytical ruler Mercury residing in fellow earth sign Capricorn this month. This will make your down-to-earth side shine through. Consider doing something selfish, because your tendency to focus solely on the wellbeing of others will drag down your happiness, despite what you may think. Don’t be afraid to push yourself out of your boundaries this month, as it may bring you unexpected joy and appeal.

Libra: September 23-October 22

You are extremely fair minded and loyal, both excellent diplomatic traits, however you may find yourself struggling to make decisions. A major question will present itself to you this month that may cause you to wonder about the comforts in your life, however the answer will present itself eventually. You may even find yourself finding the answer in somebody who had previously hurt you- just keep your mind open and keep yourself safe. Your amazing skills of judgment will allow you to look upon the situation with open eyes.

Scorpio: October 23-November 21

You are a keeper of many lifelong friends, and you tend to value people who you’ve known for the longest period of time. Since you have the pull of Mars and Jupiter this month, you may find conflict arise within these friendships. Mars will give you an uncharacteristic braveness and irritability. Don’t fret over conflict this month, because all friendships will resolve themselves if you put in the effort to take accountability for your wrongdoings (which is pretty difficult for a Scorpio). Scorpion Jupiter will allow you the power of deep thought this month so take advantage of that power.

Sagittarius: November 22-December 21

Lucky for you Sagittarius, the moon is in your favor this month, which will lend you a great deal of positivity. Your energy levels will be through the roof, which you may not be used to, but your loved ones will appreciate. Enjoy the joy while it lasts, though, because you may land in hot water through your lack of a filter when sharing your opinions. Practice holding back some of your more gritty opinions this month, and everything will run much smoother.

Capricorn: December 21-January 19

Talk about being split in multiple directions! There are five entities that have fallen into the path of your zodiac: Pluto, Saturn, Venus, Mercury, and the Sun. What might this mean for your sign to have so many drawing factors? Well, you may find yourself struggling to make decisions and follow directions given to you. Mercury and Saturn are your main rulers this month, and will provide you with some clarity to counteract the different sides of you. Remember to stay calm and spend time on your mental health this month- you’ll need it.
